Ingredients of My New Beginning...

Things are getting easier to deal with. I still don't have a job, but continue to look. I acquired a 1966 Airstream Overlander to live in. She (I named her Cher) landed in the side yard of the house I grew up in. My dad, his dog and one older brother still live in it... so I guess you can go home...
Fred (my dog) and I are content in Cher. She needs a good bit of work: some floor repair, then a bamboo click-down floor. Prior to that though... I got tired of only having my bunk to sit on, so I started tearing out the front gaucho (which was missing all of its upholstery).
 
I had ordered a cute convertable sofa/lounge and bought a rug. Turned out cute I think. I still need to remove the front freshwater tank and pump (Cher will be a stationary live in so I won't need it), so I can push the sofa back further to gain a bit more living room.
 
Both arms of the sofa fold down, which will come in handy as a second bunk, since I'm going to take out one of the twin bunks so I can have a "studio" space for art. She also needs some new vent covers to stave off some leaks, new appliances and other work. I'll have her gypsied up soon enough.
